Mandela United FC

Mandela United FC was an unofficial soccer club led by Jerry Musivuzi Richardson, who acted as the bodyguard for Winnie Mandela. The club was formed in 1985 when she returned to Soweto, with Richardson chasing away two burglars from her house and bringing a crew of sympathizers to serve as her security detail and "football club". From 1985 to 1989, the group terrorized Soweto, and the murder of Stompie Seipei in 1989 gave the group notoriety. It would be disbanded after Mandela was arrested for kidnapping, and the club was seen as a terrorist group thereafter.
